Europeans used to make fun of Americans for our habits of censorship. "So, you give our movies an X rating for one brief scene of a bare female breast, but you give your own films G ratings even if they are full of murder by firearms."
We're still at it. YouTube is full these days of videos with extremely dubious political messages. Then there are the numerous videos of drunken Russians playing Car-Tag. Guys running their Hayabusas at 170 mph on public highways, including one where the guy crashes ON CAMERA. But God forbid the Creature from the Black Lagoon says, dare I say it, "CURSE THIS GUY!" and, "AND CURSE THIS ACCURSED BIRD TOO!"
We live with these things: 1) Creeping fascism is catching up to us; 2) people are choosing what gender they want to be (from a new list of about twenty-five genders); and, 3) hell, people are "choosing their own pronouns." But a few big, funny "fuck this things!" in a row and it's Katy, bar the door! We're cool with the white supremacy shit, but a couple of simple "fuck this fucking things" is too much to bear!
It's enough to make a grown man sick.
